A friend of Manon, co-founder of Protect Your Glass, was the victim of an attempted drink spiking during an evening out. This incident triggered several months of research to devise a simple solution to better protect drinks.
At the time, Charly, co-founder, was still a gendarme.
After several months of testing, Protect Your Glass is launching its first product in June: the anti-spiking scrunchie, a 2-in-1 accessory featuring a reusable and easy-to-carry fabric drink cover. The Protect Your Glass adventure begins.
Protect Your Glass gains national visibility. The brand is invited to La France Bouge on Europe 1 and wins the Trophée de l'Avenir – Listeners' Favorite. This is the first media recognition that highlights our prevention approach in festive environments.
Protect Your Glass is developing partnerships with student organisations and prevention structures, notably the Association Générale des Étudiant·es de Paris (AGEP). Our drink covers are distributed to several thousand students during events and awareness campaigns.
Protect Your Glass is expanding its range with the keychain drink cover: a reusable fabric protector stored in a compact case, easy to carry, distribute, and keep after an event.

Protect Your Glass is a brand committed to preventing spiking. We don't just develop drink covers: we also carry out awareness campaigns aimed at making evenings safer and better informing the public.
Every project, every partnership, and every product is part of this desire to take concrete action in festive settings.
We design solutions that are simple, intuitive, and adapted to real-world uses. Our drink covers are designed to be easy to transport, quick to use, and compatible with the constraints of parties, events, and establishments.
At Protect Your Glass, innovation doesn't aim for the spectacular: above all, it aims to be useful, practical, and accessible.
Protect Your Glass is also a collective adventure. We collaborate with student associations, institutions, communities, and stakeholders involved in prevention to advance awareness in festive environments together.
We also carry out concrete solidarity actions, particularly with students in precarious situations, in order to combine prevention, commitment, and mutual aid.
"A couple from Rouen is behind this startup. Manon Hrebicek is a business school student and Charly Boissée is a gendarme. They encountered the phenomenon of spiking during student nights out at nightclubs."
"I think it's a great idea. A lot of us are looking for these kinds of things, because when you're a girl, you're not necessarily very comfortable."
To avoid being drugged unknowingly, entrepreneurs are developing accessories. This is the case for two young students from Rouen who have invented “anti-spiking scrunchies” to combat spiking.
